Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1559 - 1558: He Must Have a Scheme_1

Tong Sanlang sat to one side and fell silent for an instant upon hearing this but then responded, "Alright."

"It has been tough on you both," Yang Wenxiao sighed. "Rest assured, the Yang Family will definitely compensate you."

"What’s there to compensate? It’s already pretty good now; I can even kick the doors of the Yu Residence. No one in Capital City dares to provoke me," Qiao Xiaomai spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao smiled, "The merits you’ve earned now will extend to your descendants. Speaking of which, you two aren’t getting any younger. When are you planning to have children?"

Qiao Xiaomai "..."

The topic had shifted too abruptly.

She blinked and steered the conversation back, "That’s not urgent, we’ll talk about it once things have settled down. By the way, how much stuff could the Wu family rake up?"

"Why?" Yang Wenxiao asked with an almost amused look at her.

Qiao Xiaomai was unflinching, "With these rumors circulating, I’m truly worried that in the future no one will buy my products anymore. Should that happen, I hope that whatever is taken from the Wu family could be invested in the canal project."

"Such an important project benefiting the country and the people can’t stop," she added.

"Agreed," Yang Wenxiao responded cheerfully. "We’ll invest the Wu family’s fortune into the canal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Retired Emperor!" Qiao Xiaomai promptly expressed her gratitude.

"What’s there to thank me for?" Yang Wenxiao laughed.

Fearing he might return to the topic of having children, Qiao Xiaomai spoke again, "Your Majesty the Retired Emperor, don’t you find Bei Yun’s behavior a bit strange?"

"How so?"

"I think he was intentionally covering for the Wu family, but seeing that he couldn’t hide it much longer, he gave up the Wu family," Qiao Xiaomai said.

Bei Yun came to Capital City seeking refuge with Bei Lingsu, so it’s certain that one issue must be addressed: who exactly had teamed up with the Duan family to kill Tong Sanlang?

If Bei Yun wanted to stay in Capital City, he had to provide a clear answer.

First, Bei Yun said nothing, then he blamed the Yu Family, and seeing that he could no longer hold out, he finally gave up the Wu family.

Still thinking to cover for the Wu family, what was he trying to do?

The biggest possibility was that Bei Yun had a purpose in coming to Capital City.

He might not have broken with the Duan family at all.

Qiao Xiaomai shared her speculations, and Yang Wenxiao said, "According to the news from Longshi Country, Bei Yun found Longshi Country too barren, so he came to Capital City."

"Then has he actually fallen out with the Duan family?"

"The word is that they had some conflict, but the specifics of that disagreement and how far it went cannot be determined. The Duan family is very secretive, and it’s impossible to get close to the core," Yang Wenxiao said.

The Duan family, being in Longshi Country, must feel very insecure, hence their excellent security measures. High-level martial artists patrol the Duan family territory daily, twelve hours a day without break, searching anyone who comes and goes, and strangers find it even harder to approach.

Under such circumstances, his spies were also unable to dig up any useful information.

Thinking of this, he sighed, "We are still short of hands."

Martial artists like Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu were few; if the task of gathering intelligence were given to these two, it would surely be easy.

But one of them was incapacitated, and the other was busy teaching every day, unable to leave Capital City.

"We’ll train more gradually," Qiao Xiaomai said.

"Zhengzheng is Sanlang’s disciple, but his master has hardly taught him at all," Yang Wenxiao said, glancing at Tong Sanlang, who was sitting aside.

Tong Sanlang smiled upon hearing this, "Miss Bei is more suitable to be his mentor than I am."
